Developers need more creative names... acronyms are starting to get reused. For example, when Super Monkey Ball was released, people would say "SMB," and I thought they were talking about Super Mario Bros... now, we have a thread about Starfox Advertures using the same acronym as Street Fighter Alpha... it's just too damn annoying.

YES! I clicked into that thread ready to give Street Fighter advice and, then, with half a ton of raw brilliance halfway up my throat, I see the words "Star Fox". Violently, all the info paristalted its way back down, with fuck resonating in my disappointed heart. :( Doesn't anyone want to post about Street Fighter?

It is irritating, but only because a lot of people are using the wrong acronyms for the games.:shrug: Some people should follow plith's advice of spelling most words(I'll include titles here) in full.

Try reading the first post, then read some game titles on the net. Some use acronyms for titles that only have one word(for example, Xenosaga).-_- And yes, some people should still follow plith's advice.:shrug:

I don't think developers are actually trying to make the acronyms the same, it just happens.

That's the thing... I know what these people are talking about, it just bugs me. I have no rational explanation for my hatred of reused acronyms, it's just sort of there.

What the hell are you talking about , SMB sucks ass! SMB on the other hand, is an excellent game.
